Of chickens and cattle
Pasco couple arrested on child neglect charges in filthy home:
You got to love it when a story starts out like this…
The 2-year-old boy on Saturday morning wandered outside his house alone, through a field with livestock roaming and climbed over a cattle gate, authorities said.
Guess where mom was. That’s right 29-year-old Tanya Faye Dykas was at home asleep. When police got the boy home they found what may be a record breaking filthy home.
A 7-year-old was found outside in only shoes. A 5-year-old in only underwear. The windows were covered in boards. There were trails of feces leading from the toilet to all over the house. The toilet had not been flushed in days. The prerequisite feces were all over the place. But here’s where the record gets broken…
Chicken feces were found inside a room where one of the children was allowed to keep his show chickens.
That’s right kids. Since I have taken over PBB this is the first time I can recall that chicken feces were found in a home.
And let’s go for another record. These Breeders actually admit that they’re lazy…
Tanya Faye Dykas, 29, told a deputy and a child protection investigator that she didn’t know the boy had wandered off because she had been sleeping.
Justin Dykas told investigators that he has asked the kids to pick up after themselves but they refuse and he’s tired and doesn’t feel like doing anything when he comes home from his job at Publix.
For those of you who may not know Publix is a supermarket chain in Florida.
Both Breeders are being held in the Land O’ Lakes Jail which as I’ve said before is made out of butter.
Thanks to Bridget for the tip.

Hey Trench – We may need to start a Land O Lakes jail fan site. It seems that half of the stories features here end up referencing that jail.

It’s my favorite jail named after butter.

Yeah, me too. People get off easy when they’re sent to Country Crock Penitantary. It’s like a resort there.

Don’t even get me started on Parkay Detention Center.

Show chickens still taste good stir-fried with a little garlic and pepper and tossed on top of a salad.
As for the story… ew. Ya know what? I’m tired, too! But (unless the dog has an accident) you don’t find feces throughout my house. If the dog does poop, we clean it up. Oh, we not only have clothes for the kids, we require them to wear the clothes.
Wonder how long before this couple gets the kids back so they can continue the cycle of filth and neglect?

They weren’t just ANY chickens, they were SHOW chickens. That makes it okay.

That’s gross! We have chickens so I know how disgusting their poop is. Talk about the potential for the kids getting e-coli. Sicko, lazies.
